Dark Tranquillity Checks in With Tour Recap

Sweden's Dark Tranquillity has checked in with an update recapping the latest North and South American tour:

"Your favourite merry band of metallers are now finally home on Swedish soil after a successful string of shows in USA, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay.

"We'd like to extend a massive thanks to everyone involved - the guys in Threat signal and Mutiny within, the hard working crew, the local opening bands and of course all the fans - new and old - that came out to the shows.

"For the Latin American tour, a special thanks must go to Alex and John @ Eyescream productions for their professionalism and for making the trip such a great experience for us. It was an amazing trek, and we were very glad to finally play in no less than three new countries for us - Peru, Uruguay and Brazil. Can't wait to come back!
